Just went to see the bike at the store. The Foil 40 (2013) is much lighter than the Giant TCR Advanced 3 (2012). The aerodynamics aero frame is simply superb and nice color paint works. It has internal cabling, integrated seat post and a full Shimano 105 groupo. I quickly placed a backorder on Size s @1999. I must say this is the best buy ever.

After one month placing the order, my Scott Foil 40 has finally arrived. The bike is really light as compared to my cross (10kg). I have got the size S which is even lighter about (7.9kg including the 105 pedals). First impression, the paint works is excellent virtually flawless with the ORICA GreenEDGE design. Pretty stiff and responsive. It has full internal cabling design. Last but not least, it's a value buy cost me @1999 for this full carbon aerodynamics frame and 105 groupo

Look I still get a buzz every time I see it or ride it. I used the same climb and descent on every bike test much to the LBS's annoyance. The Foil,despite be being tired won the race, it didn't feel faster at the time but it was and by a long way. I do not regret it at all. And after a quick mtn bike ride at the weekend you forget how easily they make you a hero. Ignore the harshness comments I have not found that, however I have invested in good bibs!Try it I'm sure you'll love it.

So far I have done 200+ km on this bike. The bike is fast and comfortable to ride. The gear shifting is excellent fast and quiet. The only drawback is the noise coming from the wheels and cassette. I guess the noise is easily transferred to the carbon frame. This is my first carbon bike so I am not too sure the noise thing is a norm or not.

The carbon noise, yeah I figure it's that too, noticed it on all the carbon bikes I tested, you can sometimes hear it on the videos posted on here. Not what I got from my steely at all! I like the sound now, it reminds me that I'm riding expensive kit, in my wallet size category! Perhaps I'm worth it!

It's similar to the sounds you get from a track racing car when the gearbox whines away, the first time you hear it, you think, is this thing going to blow? The price of removing all sound deadening from a car you get a big echo box...

I purchased the same bike as pictured above in January of this year, I have since updated the groupset to Dura Ace 7900 and the wheels to Dura Ace 7850. My verdict, I love the damn thing, when you stand up and hit those pedals the bike jumps and just wants to go. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about getting a Scott Foil.

Got myself a Foil 15 a couple of months ago. I thought it would be much more uncomfortable that anything I rode before. Although you can feel every gravel or bump on the road, it rides like a dream and even on long rides (four hours+), my old skeleton handles it better than I expected. It is light(7.3kg) and responsive. The Ultegra Di2 is a breeze to use. Also no complaints (yet-time will tell) about Synchros components (that one was a step in the unknown at the time of purchase).

Still loving the Foil 40. The Foil is loving me too, now i'm getting fitter and faster the bike responds to me everytime and rolls so fast and steady down hill, unreal.As a heavy weight I ride GP4000s 25's on the rear and when the front wears that will match too, currently factory supplied 23.Looking to invest in some Hurricane wheels from American Classic. They read very well for heavy riders and a one set type user. Will let you know.
